Once you stop being amused from my sarcasm you might notice the subtle difference between what i suggested and what you - by your own admission - executed. I am not sure but what you posted suggests that you might have looked at the wrong man page.

Anyhow, since you were busy making fun of my obviously lacking intellectual capacity i took the time to look up the man page myself. So, along with a big apology for not being fluent in mind reading, here is what i found, the relevant parts are marked bold by me:

Code:

# man apt-cdrom
[...]
SYNOPSIS
apt-cdrom [-rmfan] [-d=cdrom_mount_point] [-o=config_string]
[-c=config_file] {add | ident | {-v | --version} |
{-h | --help}}
[...]
apt-cdrom is used to add a new CD-ROM to APT's list of available
sources. apt-cdrom takes care of determining the structure of the disc
as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the
index files.
[...]
add
add is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will unmount
the CD-ROM device, prompt for a disc to be inserted and then
proceed to scan it and copy the index files.
[...]
-d, --cdrom
Mount point; specify the location to mount the CD-ROM. This mount
point must be listed in /etc/fstab and properly configured.
[...]
-m, --no-mount
No mounting; prevent apt-cdrom from mounting and unmounting the
mount point.

So, since i suppose you don't want to mount/unmount the pen drive (you see, i am getting better at reading minds) you mount the pen drive at /some/where, then issue

Hello,
I am trying to learn how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:

Is there a command that someone could help me with, that would automate me having to:
1. Go into multiple different folders (probably around 100)
2. Check and see if there are either 1(+) subfolders within that
3. If there are, check and see if there are either 1(+) .m4a / .m4p / .m4v files...... OS X (Apple)

UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Linux and UNIX

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based
on the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is an operating system kernel
first released by Linus Torvalds on 17 September 1991. Linux
distributions include the Linux kernel, system software and
libraries. Popular free open source Linux distributions include
Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu. Commercial Linux distributions include
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Linux may
be freely modified and redistributed. Anyone on the planet may
create a Linux distribution for any purpose.

Unix (trademarked as the UNIX certification mark) is a very mature
family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that
evolved from the original AT&T Unix. Unix development starting in
the 1970s by legendary Bell Labs programmers Ken Thompson, Dennis
Ritchie, and others. Unix was first targeted for the Bell System and
AT&T licensed Unix to outside parties. In the 1970s time period,
this lead to a variety of for-profit as well as not-for-profit Unix
variants.

In the early days, this included the University of California,
Berkeley (BSD), Microsoft (Xenix), IBM (AIX), and Sun Microsystems
(Solaris). In the early 1990s, AT&T sold their Unix rights to
Novell. In 1995 Novell sold their Unix business to the Santa Cruz
Operation (SCO). The UNIX trademark was passed to The Open Group, a
"neutral" industry consortium. The Open Group promoted the use of
the UNIX trademark for certified operating systems that comply with
the Single UNIX Specification (SUS). In 2014 Apple's macOS became
the Unix version with the largest global install base and macOS
remains the largest Unix-user base today.
